Abstract:This article focuses on how Hausa men in Niamey, Niger, use street side hira (“conversation”) groups to navigate their lives as migrants and to experience, negotiate, and create their own understandings of modernity. In Niamey, hira groups are the most important institution of public culture. More than any other aspect of Hausa social organization, hira groups bring together, in a concentrated fashion, circulating people and circulating ideas and thus offer a prime localized entry into the global reality of modernity.

Abstract:
This article will examine the use of male fashion shows as a marketing and promotional tool by British high street multiple tailor Hepworths in the 1960s as part of their design collaboration with women’s fashion designer and couturier Hardy Amies. The partnership successfully brought the concept of the branded designer label to British men for the first time and was a major initiative for the menswear industry as it highlighted and consolidated a design ethos which strongly emphasized men’s fashion. Drawing on a wide range of primary source material including oral history interviews with two male models who worked for Hepworths and Amies; object studies of surviving garments; and film and images of the shows, this article will explore the significant and innovative approach to selling men’s fashionable tailoring taken by this mid-market menswear company. It also provides a broader understanding of the history of men’s fashion during this period, a narrative which is dominated by the concept of the peacock revolution, by demonstrating Hepworths’ important contribution to everyday men’s fashion in post-Second World War Britain.

Abstract:
This article explores the use of clothes and other accessories as markers of masculine authorial identity. Fashion and literature are contentious partners, with literature attempting to keep a firm distance from the popular trappings of the fashion world. However, writers have historically used fashion to create their identities beyond the printed word. This can be seen in examples such as Oscar Wilde and Mark Twain and the ways clothing items have become associated with their personae as men of letters. Contemporary writers are no different, yet many continue to exude ambivalence towards clothing having any effect on their images in the literary sphere. Jonathan Franzen and David Foster Wallace are two examples of writers who downplay fashion’s role in their public images. Franzen and Wallace establish their positions at the forefront of American literature not only with their fiction and non-fiction works but also in the ways they adorn their bodies and present them within visual media. Nevertheless, both Franzen and Wallace perform as specific types of masculine authors through their fashion choices. Ultimately, they use fashion to brand their authorial identities in accordance with their literary output. Franzen’s and Wallace’s willing participation in the stylization of their images to meet the masculine standards of authorial identity reveals the prevalence of gendered stereotypes regarding how authors should be represented within popular culture.

Abstract:
The Muslim man’s shirt-dress, or thobe, is a popular form of dress in the global Muslim community. Attention to Muslim clothing has most often been to its associated ideology. As a fashionable garment worn across many regions of the world, the thobe has received little attention within the fashion industry or from fashion scholars. This study used Appraisal methods to analyse the subjective attitudes of 79 professional Saudi men in describing their positive and negative views of the thobe. Attitudes were clearly positive overall, realized in engagement clauses reflecting a reserved linguistic style, and showing the collectivist and uncertainty-avoidant social values characteristic of educated Saudi men. The reserved nature of the Saudi male style means that positive results may be read as significantly more positive than subcategory frequencies would otherwise suggest. Frequently realized judgements of social sanction indicate that participants enjoyed the thobe because it allowed them to participate in shared national and religious identities. Frequently realized judgements of social esteem indicate that they find it more practical and comfortable than western wear. Participants identified a variety of elements of design that are desirable and significant to them in a thobe. They distinguished different kinds of thobes based on their social function and context.

Mereka memiliki level of need, yakni jika suatu informasi yang sedang ia cari itu memiliki nilai kebutuhan yang tinggi, maka mereka akan mencari informasi itu secara lebih detail, lengkap, dan memburu ( Quarry ). Jika suatu informasi yang sedang ia cari itu memiliki nilai kebutuhan yang kurang, maka mereka akan mencari informasi sedapatnya saja tanpa menelusur lebih jauh. Mereka suka membandingkan fashion yang digunakan di lingkungan sosialnya. Informasi online tentang fashion tampak kuat sekali dan dijadikan sumber informasi primer. Sementara mereka itu jarang sekali menggunakan sumber informasi sekunder. Dalam lingkungan sosialnya, biasanya mereka lebih memilih teman yang gadget dan fashionable sebagai sumber informasi.

Abstract:
Abstract Social conditions in Poland were harsh at the conclusion of World War II. Surprisingly, interest in fashion revived quickly after the war, giving rise in 1945 to a hugely popular fashion press, avidly read by Polish women. The independent magazine Fashion and Practical Life (Moda i Życie Praktyczne), launched in December 1945, was the first of its kind in Poland after the war, and quickly gained a large readership of urban and rural women (and significant numbers of men). It centred on fashion tips ‐ from practical advice on how to remodel existing material into new clothing to more aspirational ideas, crossing over from the necessities of dress or clothing into the more imaginary realm of 'fashion'.Unlike readers of the fashion press before the war, the readership of this magazine was not leisured or highly literate, but largely 'ordinary' women trying to deal with the realities of their circumstances and to find relief from them. Letters from readers were the centre of the magazine in its early years. They shared their experiences and solutions. This article explores the phenomenon of a genre of publishing for women in Poland through analysis of Fashion and Practical Life from its inception into the early 1950s. It examines the contexts in which it operated and its role in the representation and self-identity of Polish women within this time of transition. The article identifies two key typologies for fashion tips: 'poor fashion' (how to make available materials into liveable garments) and 'imaginary fashion' (the aspirations that Polish women had but could not attain at that time). It also shows that apparently emancipatory trends for women were short-lived. By the early 1950s the narrative of the fashion press reinscribed Polish women back in the home, as housewives.

Abstract:
When Canadians showed themselves off to the world at the international exposition at Montreal in 1967, Canadian Christianity presented itself in strikingly symbolic fashion.1In the ecumenical spirit flourishing at the time, Roman Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox churches—which together represented the vast majority of Canadians—jointly sponsored a pavilion. In the experimental and critical spirit also flourishing at the time, the pavilion offered some disturbing reflections upon the fair's theme, ”Man and His World.“ A kaleidoscope of dramatic pictures and texts celebrated the possibilities of the “secular city,” but also reminded visitors how badly so many men (and women and children) were faring in their world.

Abstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to utilize the spontaneous brain potentials as an index to quantifying the consumers’ inner emotions, and propose an objective method to obtain the clothing recognitions of consumers by only monitoring brain activities. Design/methodology/approach – Different styles of men’s casual jacket were studied as a case. The research included four phases: first, stimuli samples were constructed by clustering algorithm. Second, self-report for the perception of stimuli samples were recorded by self-assessment manikin. Third, real-time brain potentials while viewing stimuli samples were recorded and analyzed. Finally, the output data were compared with the classical research achievements of visual evoked emotional ERPs to examine the effectiveness. Findings – The results indicated significant difference in main effect of different emotional categories which was identified a corresponding relationship between the emotional trigger and the emotional reaction, of which the early components were the typical components that provided the major physiology characteristics for emotional fashion design. The middle components could be used as the assist reference indexes. The negative stimuli were first noticed because its shorter processing times and larger amplitudes. The comparison confirmed that the proposed method was capable of quantifying cognitive activities of consumers by only monitoring brain activities and then transferred the analyzed data to the design references. Originality/value – The results quantifying the qualities of consumers’ emotional preference for men’ casual jackets based on the neural mechanism of human brain, which could eliminate the systematic biases associated with the uses of words and semantic comprehension in self-report methods. The proposed method may help to enrich and complete the sentimental fashion design for the cognitive experience of consumer oriented. Moreover, it also could be beneficial to optimize design process and improve efficiency and core competitiveness for clothing producers.

Abstract:
This article analyzes the dress and consumption practices of the first generation of Filipino male migrants to the United States who arrived from 1906 until the end of World War II. It argues that Filipino migrant men used dress and consumption practices to fashion new identities that rejected their working selves as a lower-class marginal group. The contrast between the utilitarian clothes worn during working hours and the formal suit accentuated the sartorial transformation from lower-class agricultural laborer or Alaskan cannery worker to fashionable dandy and temporarily erased the stigma of manual labor. Two groups of well-dressed Filipino men behaved in contradictory ways: as binge consumers and as anti-consumers. Collectively, Filipino consumption practices that included dress challenged the parameters of social exclusion.

Gênero, como categoria de análise, nos remete a processos de diferenciação social entre os sexos, que com a vasta produção intelectual não cabe mais restringir ao masculino e ao feminino, ao contrário, as discussões se colocam no sentido de potencializar os debates que trabalham na perspectiva de quebrar com dicotomias e binarismos. Nesse processo, é possível perceber que os papeis sexuais tem sido tradicionalmente concebidos como resultado de uma divisão natural do trabalho que atribui responsabilidades que demandam investimentos racionais, físicos, estéticos e emocionais diferenciados para homens e mulheres. Quando se pensa no campo da moda, enquanto fenômeno social e cultural historicamente demarcado no ocidente, dada a demanda de sensibilidade, criatividade e refinamento, na distribuição de papeis específicos desse campo, com frequência se pensa em mulheres ou homossexuais. Essa demanda é aqui entendida como habilidades que são requisitadas dentro de um campo – o da moda – que o caracteriza e é nele exigido para dar conta de um espaço tão complexo e dinâmico. Mediante o uso de um instrumental metodológico de ordem qualitativo e partindo dessa constatação, nesta pesquisa assumo o desafio de problematizar o conceito de habitus do campo da moda para perceber a vivência de valores atribuídos à masculinidade por homens heterossexuais que atuam nesse campo. Dessa maneira, as análises partem de observações realizadas na Semana de Moda de Alagoas 2014 e apoiadas no referencial teórico que versam sobre gênero, masculinidades, moda e trabalho funcionando como eixos temáticos interligados que servem para problematizar as vivências de masculinidades no campo da moda em Maceió. Observo que essas vivências atendem a demarcações no plano do discurso, da ação e do pensamento que, ora se tocam e ora aparecem divergentes.
Gender as a category of analysis refers to the processes of social differentiation between the sexes, that with the vast intellectual production there is no more restricted to the male and the female, in contrast, the discussions are placed in order to enhance the debates working in perspective to break with dichotomies and binaries. In this process it can see that the sex roles have traditionally been designed as a result of a natural division of labor that assigns responsibilities that demand rational investments, physical, aesthetic and emotional differentiated for men and women. When we think in the fashion field, as a social and cultural phenomenon historically marked in the Ocident, for demand of sensitivity, creativity and refinement, distribution of specific roles in this field, often thinking about women or homosexuals. This demand is here understood as skills that are required within a field - the fashion - that characterizes it and is it required to account for such a complex and dynamic field. Through the use of methodological tools of qualitative order and based this evidence, this research assume the challenge of questioning the concept of habitus in the fashion field to realize the experience of values assigned to masculinity by heterosexual men in this field. Thus, the analyzes start from observations at Fashion Week in Alagoas (Brazil) in 2014 and supported the theoretical framework that deal with gender, masculinity, fashion and work functioning as interconnected subjects that serve to problematize the experiences of masculinity in the field of fashion in Maceio. We note that these experiences serve demarcations in the speech of the plan of action and thought, well touch and now appear as divergent.

Abstract:
Even though the fashion consumption of men has increased there are differences in consumption in relation to women. Men’s consumer behaviour becomes more similar to women’s consumer behaviour, which is an important moment in men’s fashion. The literature review is based on fashion and consumer behaviour. In this thesis consumer behaviour is concerned with subcultures such as male consumers, Sweden and the Generation Y. The consumers of the Generation Y consume differently compared to former generations and it is the most consumption orientated generation. A qualitative research was conducted to understand how men of the Generation Y consume fashion. In-depth interviews with eight Swedish men of the Generation Y were directed to understand what is important to them when consuming fashion. Further, the purpose was to find out what Swedish men want to express through their clothing, what influences them concerning their consumption decisions and why men think that they consume fashion differently than women. It was found out that their purchasing decisions are based on a combination of the fit, price and quality of the garment. Additionally, self-expression through clothing is important for the respondents. The pressure in the Swedish society to fit in has also an influence on their decisions. Regarding consumption differences between men and women the participants think that the price gap is the most important factor.

Abstract:

The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate the knowledge of, attitudes toward, and experiences of the emergency contraceptive pill (ECP), sexual behaviour, and pornography consumption among high school students and young people. Data were obtained by questionnaires (studies I, II, and III), and by qualitative in-depth interviews (study IV).

A majority of 16-year old high-school students were aware that ECP existed, and knew where to obtain it. Attitudes toward using ECP were generally positive, but more girls than boys were hesitant as to whether ECP should be available without a prescription. Of those having experienced sexual intercourse, more than one fourth stated that they themselves or their partner had ever used ECP (I).

Almost half of the 16-year old high-school students surveyed (46%) had had sexual intercourse, a number similar in studies conducted 10 and 20 years earlier. Use of contraceptives at first intercourse had increased (to 76%) and use of alcohol had decreased (to 23%). More students in practical rather than theoretical programs smoked, had sexual intercourse at an earlier age, had more partners, and used contraceptives at first intercourse less often (II).

Three out of four 18-year old students had had sexual intercourse, of which almost three quarters reported contraceptive use at first intercourse. Anal intercourse was reported by one sixth, with infrequent condom use. Males who consumed more pornography were more likely than males who consumed less pornography to engage in a variety of sexual activities, as were males with an early age at first sexual intercourse (III).

The core category that emerged in the interviews was “Living with the current sexual norm”, pornography created sexual expectations and demands. The interviewees expressed contradictory feelings towards pornography and felt that sexuality was separated from intimacy. In order to deal with the current sexual norm, participants had different individual handling strategies, including liberal-, normalization-, distance-, feminist- and conservative strategies (IV).

Overall, the studies highlight several differences between genders and between students attending practical- and theoretical study programs in questions concerning ECP, sexual behaviour and pornography. These differences should be addressed while planning for counselling and sex education. We suggest that health- and school personnel discuss how sexuality is portrayed in pornographic material with young people.

Abstract:
Background: Historically, fashion was not always gendered. After the Great Masculine Renunciation however, men relinquished their rights to excess of physical aesthetics and being ‘beautiful’. Cultural masculinity and gendered norms have since impacted male fashion and constrained the western male look to being understated and practical. Recently, new male icons have surfaced. Certain celebrity appearances have received coverage by popular media, since they are exhibiting a more androgynous and diverse take on masculinity than what is normally presented in the public sphere. There is a hype surrounding this, displayed online. Increasing sales of menswear also indicates that this hype surrounding men’s fashion might be spreading to the general public. This phenomenon inspires speculation about whether or not the average western millennial man actually adopt this new trend they are said to be the leaders of. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to examine and describe the relationship that the millennial men have with fashion, with regards to attitude, subjective norms, and behaviour. Methodology: The research builds on a pragmatist philosophy which allows both interpretivist and positivist positions. This allowed a quantitative method to be conducted, using an abductive approach. The data was collected through a survey, using quantitative questions. The acquired data and was analysed through descriptive statistics. Findings: The main findings show that millennial men should not be treated as a single homogenous cohort in research surrounding fashion. The findings also demonstrate a clear shift in men’s attitudes towards shopping and fashion, showing that it is not a feminine activity. However, the attitude towards “the new style of men” is quite scattered. Thus, it seems that this hype around changing male fashion has only started trickling down from the niche community that is considered to be leading this change. Regarding their behaviour, most men still prefer buying clothes from a brick-and-mortar store and do not use the online environment actively to seek out and consume fashion.

Abstract:

When we talk about shopping for garments, we mostly think of women first. Men also shop, need clothes, spend time and money in stores and dress in various fashion styles. That is why we decided to explore men’s attitudes and behavior in a garment shopping experience. Our main focus was men’s experience when buying fashionable garments.

The thesis is based on investigation within the area of consumer behavior and its focal point is on men, shopping and how do they feel when they shop. In the study we conducted various qualitative researches which are participant observation method along with a short interview and a focus group method that helped us to get deeper into men’s mind and their perception of shopping and fashion in general. We have also conducted library research in order to obtain more data and information about previous studies made in the same field. While collecting all the possible data for this study, we tried to keep a visible link between our empirical findings and the collected library data.

Results of the study identified four key traits that greatly help in defining men shopping experience as rather enjoyable or not. These traits are time consumption, uncertainty aversion, prices of garments and companionship while shopping. Time consumption and uncertainty aversion have been indicated as central traits which, in a right balance, can characterize male shopping experience as more pleasurable.

Our overall findings indicate that men are strongly represented in the global shopping arena and share their own characteristic shopping behaviour. Thus, men should not be neglected nor ignored as consumers of fashionable garments.

Abstract:
O artigo descreve o processo de reavaliação e esmeração de um sistema de produção da microempresa de semijoias Cantrelle Design, com o objetivo de otimizar a estrutura organizacional e de produção por meio do design de sistemas e o slow fashion. O design de sistemas por considerar o produto como um conjunto inteiro, e o slow fashion, porque visa a democratização do processo de criação de peças de forma mais lenta, preocupando-se com o desenvolvimento dos processos. Para alcançar um resultado satisfatório, utilizou-se a metodologia desenvolvida por Ezio Manzini e Carlo Vezzoli, o Life Cycle Design (LCD), procurando reduzir os inputs e outputs o máximo possível, tanto em termos quantitativos quanto qualitativos. Ponderando assim, a nocividade de seus efeitos, por meio da avaliação de todas as fases do produto, que são subdivididas em pré-produção, produção, distribuição, uso e descarte. Por se tratar de semijoias, sendo, então, um bem durável, requere-se poucos recursos durante o uso e manutenção, concentra-se em reduzir o impacto nas fases antecedentes e posteriores ao uso. Como resultado, obteve-se uma potencialização na gestão da empresa, reduzindo os gastos energéticos e materiais. Atingiu-se tal solução por meio de uma melhor organização de etapas operacionais nas fases antecedentes ao uso do produto, buscando adequar-se ao sistema slow fashion, com a otimização do volume de compras e logística de vendas, reavaliação da embalagem e material aplicados. Percebeu-se que a matéria prima já em uso é a menos impactante para o ambiente por ser de alta durabilidade e passível de reaproveiramnento. Por fim, redesenhou-se a embalagem com tecido reciclado, de uma forma que possa ser reutilizada pelo consumidor final após ser adquirida. Conclui-se que é possível readequar um sistema já em andamento, adaptando-o de forma a reduzir seu impacto na natureza por meio do slow fashion e design de sistemas, valorizando o processo de produção, não só o lucro financeiro que a venda do produto proporciona, além de aperfeiçoar o sistema como uma unidade e repensar o conjunto para valorizar a qualidade e o modo de produção, expondo a possibilidade de renovar o sistema industrial vigente de modo sustentável e consciente, por meio de uma ação local, visando atingir um macrossistema de forma harmônica.

Abstract:
Design, the cross-fertilization of science and art, is a basic function of all species that occupy a masterfully orchestrated and designed ecosystem in which man is but one. On the other hand, culture with its complex mix is the expression of what a group of people creates — arts, beliefs customs, institutions, products and thought — at a particular time within the context of the natural environment. Design and culture therefore are intimately linked and undoubtedly influence each other. This suggests that designers, with their problem solving skills and keen interest to preserve nature and advance quality of life are capable of reshaping culture in a positive way. This paper is not intended to provide specific answers on how to achieve that, but it highlights some aspects of the design-culture interface and asserts that designers, armed with good will and respect for all have under their disposal a strong force by which they can help fashion a peaceful world. The paper also addresses possible things designers can do to influence that objective.

Abstract:
Human errors during operations, probably more clearly referred to as human or action failures, play an important role in causing industrial accidents. The assessment of human performance, through the identification and measurement of human failures, is a complicated, but essential, task to accomplish in real process plants. Virtual Reality (VR) provides a suitable mean to identify human failures, measure human performance and train field operators to risky situations. Nevertheless, not all the aspects relevant to Human Factors (HF) can be easily identified, assessed and reproduced in Virtual Environments (VE). Indeed, VR seems to be better suited to measure cognitive capabilities, such as Command, Control, and Communication capabilities (commonly referred to as C3 capabilities), rather than anthropometric ones like physical coordination, precision in manipulating and ability to reach. Actually, this is certainly not due to the intrinsic nature of VR but, rather, to its current state of development. Industrial environments, if properly recreated in VR, can allow anticipating people behavior, thus enabling to identify whether critical actions have been identified and to measure human performance. Further, by changing in real-time those experiment parameters, such as weather conditions (e.g., wind speed, direction, intensity) and process variables (e.g., pressure, flow rate, heat duties), the strength of environmental stressors, singularly or in a combined fashion, on cognitive capabilities such as recognition, anticipation, prioritization, and planning, can be suitably measured and assessed. The consequences of actions performed by operators can even be experienced instantly, thus allowing for an incisive and persistent training effect. The manuscript presents an integrated approach to step towards the use of VR to (a) verify whether the identified human failure types are all of those that might occur in reality, (b) identify additional human failure types that might affect plant safety, (c) measure the influence of environmental stressors on human performance. Further, the approach presents a way to collect automatically HF data to be used and manipulated for giving rise to Human Performance Indexes (HPI). Eventually, HPI can then be of real help in supporting decision-making processes for industrial safety.

Abstract:
Considering that the great advantage of an organization today is the knowledge it has, and how it manages this knowledge, this article reports the application of the IDThink device in a fashion organization's manufacturing sector for its validation. This device applies knowledge management through the skills and attitudes of the design thinker. The device shown here is to assist the process of innovation in organizations by using some design thinkers skills in the knowledge explicitation and externalization. To Brown (2009) design thinking begins with the skills that designers have learned over time as: To align the human being´s needs with the technological resources available in the organization; Intuition; The ability to recognize patterns; Build ideas that have both emotional significance and functional; The ability to question their surroundings and be empathetic and; The ability to express otherwise than in words or symbols. This last is one of the most important designer skills. The designer uses the drawing process also as a critical process, as discovery. He uses drawing as a means of materializing, imagination, or discovery of something that he cannot built in his mind, and as a mean of communication with others, facilitating collaboration on projects. The IDThink device is an external, temporary repository for ideas, with which the designer interacts, and this externalization supports the necessary dialogue that it has between the problem and the solution, which minimizes the cognitive stress when dealing with quantities and complexities of knowledge to be process internally. The identification of concepts and their positioned graphical representation facilitates decision-making, the sharing of knowledge of everyone involved in the organization management, and observation of systemic functioning of the company, focusing on indicators that it judged suitable. The use of visual codes, which will be available throughout the process, allows the team to navigate the process without losing their train of thought. Also allows us to observe the evolution of the environment and its influence in the organization to assist in corrective actions. The nature of the research was exploratory, with lineation by ex-post-fact, using a strategy of ethnography, through non-participant interviews and observation. After applying, the researchers understood the need to adapt the External System of the IDThink device so that it includes an amount of knowledge needed to the visualization of the organization's management and / or the development of new products.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/IFDP.2016.2400

Abstract:
Adolescence, a time of transition to adulthood, is different for young men and women in Pakistan; brothers and sisters living under the same roof have different opportunities available in all aspects of life. More young people aged 15–24 live in Pakistan now than at any other time in its history—an estimated 36 million in 2004. Recognizing the dearth of information on the situation of this large group of young people, the Population Council undertook a nationally representative survey from October 2001 to March 2002. The analysis presented in this brief comes from Adolescents and Youth in Pakistan 2001–02: A Nationally Representative Survey. The survey sought information from youth aged 15–24, responsible adults in the household, and other community members in 254 communities. A total of 6,585 households were visited and 8,074 young people were interviewed. This brief concludes that girls face disadvantages, especially in rural areas, and that parents, community, and policymakers need to work together to ensure that girls, like their brothers, are able to make a successful transition to adulthood.
